What's New in Halide Mark III

3.1.2

July 11, 2026

Welcome to Halide 3.1! This update includes a bunch of enhancements from our big 3.0 we launched six weeks ago. Let's dig in. SCARLET For more warmth, richness, and medium-high contrast try our new "Scarlet" look. It features high saturations, particularly around reds. Try it with summer sunsets! MORE FRAME CONTROLS In the "Frame" tab of the editor, you can now rotate and flip your photo, and even make perspective corrections-- perfect for architecture shots. COMPRESSION CONTROL We've added a capture setting to tweak the exact level of compression to apply. This is great for finding the right balance between texture and file size. EXPOSURE BIAS RESET We've added a button in our exposure menu to reset exposure bias to zero. There's also a long-press shortcut. When in manual mode, instead of resetting the bias, This feature re-meters exposure. ALWAYS-ON FOCUS TOOLS In 3.0, focus tools were only enabled when adjust focus. With 3.1, you can just leave them on all the time when in manual focus mode. RAW-ONLY LOOK You can now enable a "RAW-Only" mode within capture settings. This enables a specific look that does not save a JPEG. Because RAWs can render dramatically different in other apps, we recommend you only enable this feature if you know what you're getting into. EXPOSURE/FOCUS LOCK When in manual focus or manual exposure, tapping the viewfinder will not adjust either setting. There's other small polish improvements and bug fixes. If we missed something, let us know in our Discord or send us an email at support@lux.camera. We read every message! -- Team Halide

functionally useless right now

app consistently fails to save photos now, dozens of moments lost to unsalvageable unrestorable grey images. i miss mark 2, mark 3 has been increasingly buggy and unusable and its honestly such a shame. please sort it out, because this years subscription feels utterly wasted and it's incredibly frustrating for how expensive this app is.

The best secondary camera

Have been using Halide for 5 years at this point. The app is great to use and the latest colours are amazing. 99% of my use is with the process zero. My only gripe is that it’s not always reliable and responsive so I no longer have it set to my action button. The default iOS camera app opens faster and is more likely to get a shot quickly.

Unresponsive support

This camera keeps on getting fozen. I’ve lost a bunch of my footage from important events. I would NOT trust this for anything important. Even paid version feels like a waste of money.

Long term user

I’m a very long term user of Halide. I’m loving the new additions of the looks and the editing. The looks are super with my favourite being Valencia. The only oddity I’m finding is that what I see in the preview before taking the photo with the look doesn’t quite match what gets captured. And I love what I see as preview before capture. So I’m not sure where the mismatch is.
